Vacuum-assisted inferior vena cava thrombus removal using a percutaneous technique

Bryan R Wilner et al. J Card Surg. 2015 Mar.

Abstract

We report a patient with a massive inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus requiring immediate intervention. The patient underwent successful thrombectomy using a percutaneous catheter aspiration system. Percutaneous removal of an IVC thrombus is a safe and effective treatment option for severely ill patients.
